What are you most thankful for this year? We at Breaking Ground are most profoundly appreciative for our supporters and volunteers, who have uplifted this organization and participated in our mission of lending a helping hand to our most vulnerable fellow New Yorkers. Whether you have made financial contributions to our efforts, or volunteered at an event for our residents, we are grateful to you, and hope that you will continue to stand behind us as we come into the New Year.
Every year, at each of our permanent housing locations, we host Thanksgiving dinners for our residents, many of whom are formerly homeless adults with special needs. We seek compassionate volunteers to help us celebrate the holiday by staffing these dinners, and engaging with our residents. Volunteers will be asked to help set-up, serve food and drinks, interact with tenants, take photos, help with clean-up, and things of the like. Please join us.

Mission Statement
Breaking Ground’s mission is to strengthen individuals, families and communities by developing and sustaining exceptional supportive and affordable housing as well as programs for homeless and other vulnerable New Yorkers.
Description
At Breaking Ground, we believe that everyone deserves a home.
That’s why, since 1990, we have been providing permanent affordable housing for individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
Beginning with a single building, we are now New York City’s largest provider of supportive housing. We own and/or operate 24 properties with over 3,530 apartments in New York City and beyond.
- For chronically homeless people, we create safe, secure housing with essential on-site support services to help them address the psychosocial, mental, and physical health problems that are obstacles to independent living.
- For those at risk of homelessness, our affordable housing provides an all-important safety net.
Our work has enabled more than 13,000 people to overcome or avoid homelessness since 1990, and we increase that number every single day. At the start of 2016, we have nearly 1,000 units of housing in various stages of development in the Bronx and Brooklyn, and are significantly expanding our Street to Home homelessness outreach program so that we can offer help to every single homeless person we meet.
